66 J{lt. i4 We are seeking a man. Just one, single, solitary man. We know his name, but it wouldn't be cricket to put it in print. We can tell you whom he works for-General Electric. We can tell you where, too-up at Sche- nectady. We even know his title- he's a Vice-President., j 11. Here's our problem: When we check off, name for name, the executives at G-E Schenectady, who get Nation's Business every month, we find the Chairman, the President, all 30 Vice- Presidents (minus you know whom) and top administrative executives, all 15 Directors, and 20 other influen- tial managers and the like. Sixty-fi ve fine names in all, excepting only Mr. Whoosis. " R. We wish he'd borrow a copy of Nation's Business from one of his neighbors and see what he's missing. Why, there are two pieces in the December issue - Clarence Randall on "Foreign Trade" and another on the possible "AFL-CIO Merger" that alone are worth the price of á three-year subscription. Nation's Business, a magazine for husinessmen Washington 6, D. C. (Advertisement) for example, it substituted Hartwig for Rosewall in the doubles over Hopman's strenuous objections, and Seixas and Trabert unexpectedly won in three sets, doubtless to the committee's chagrin. Hopman, however, is far from being the most popular man in Australia at the moment. Australians take their ten- nis about as seriously as the residents of Brooklyn take basebalL When Hoad, their No. I idol, played so listlessly in the Victorian championships that he was almost beaten by Davidson (he later declared he was fed up with tennis and didn't give a hoot), and then lost to Seixas in straight sets, the fans first booed Hoad and then, along with prac- tically the entire Australian press, turned , their wrath on Hopman's Spartan meth- ods of disciplining his charges. (Last summer, he fined one of them two dol- lars for coming to breakfast unshaved.) A Melbourne paper ran a full-page open letter to him headed "WAKE UP TO YOURSELF" and urging him to let Hoad "off your apron strings." Hopman has an uncanny way of get- ting the most out of his players in im- portant matches, though, and perhaps he'll have Hoad clicking again before the challenge round. Hopman has al- ready predicted, in a recent magazine NEW YORK . WHITE PLAINS . CHICAGO article, that Australia will win the chal- DETROIT .

N OT long ago, through the good graces of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, I viewed the official films of the 1953 Davis Cup finals, in Australia (they were privately spon- sored by a British sporting-goods com- pany), and if any better tennis movies have ever been made, I have yet to see them. Everything about the produc- tion-the camera work, the editing, and the commentary-was so vivid and exciting that I somehow kept think- ing the United States had a chance to pull out ahead. It's a pity that, for some reason no one seems able to explain, the Association has managed to obtain only three prints for the whole country. Ten- nis clubs all over the place must surely be panting to see them.-P. 'V. 'V., JR. . Aboard ship, bells divide the day into four-hour segments.
